    Feets/platforms experiences under your TADs...

    Plixir Statement LPS : I bought this flagship grade LPS just now.

C600 is a better match to my TAD spk, power amp and sacdp compared to my previous VAC master preamp. Full TAD setup...

    TAD Reference D700 CD/SACD player

    2 years ago, I bought TAD D1000TX despite knowing that the launch of TAD D600 successor was imminent, thinking that I won’t spend much on digital gears. I was thinking digital gears won’t sound close to analog setup. So I have been happy with D1000TX. Although my cartridge is a humble Audio...
